Upgrading Office 365 Trial to E1

[T_Lister]

I want to subscribe to the E1 package and I am faced with the below:

 

There are no trial or paid subscriptions available to you at this time. This could be caused by one of the following:

There are no subscriptions available in your country or region.

You have already subscribed to all available subscriptions.

 

I have the TXT record sorted and the domain verified. However I cannot complete the verification process as I do not want the MX record made live as I still want my e-mails to come to my existing mail server. Could this be part of the problem, if not, why am I having this issue?

 

Any thoughts would be most welcome please!

Have Microsoft approved you as education establishment?

This is the confusing part, I've 'Verified Domain' on step one, but it won't complete at the last step for DNS checks, but I don't want the MX record in yet as I still want to be using my current mail client. It also talks about a bunch of CNAME records, another TXT record and SRV? When I did this in another school I don't recall any of this a couple of years ago. So I'm not sure the domain is verified...?

Is it a .sch.uk address?

 

If not check the emails of the admin account as MS may have emailed a form to be completed

It is .sch.uk Although I am using the original account, the 'onmicrosoft.com'.

 

Just made a new admin account with our domain e-mail to check, that suffers the same...

Ok, I'm officially confused and pleased! The Domain has verified and I've been able to sign up to E1. We can stand down now, but thank you for your time!
